The first of the 25 X'trapolis 2.0 EMUs ordered in 2021 entered service earlier this year.
AUSTRALIA: The Victoria state government has exercised its option to order a further 25 X’trapolis 2.0 electric multiple-units from Alstom for use on the Melbourne suburban network.
The first of the initial batch entered entered passenger service in May, and further deliveries are continuing.
The six-car X’trapolis 2.0 EMUs are derived from Alstom’s Adessia commuter rail family, and have been developed in partnership with the Victorian Department of Transport & Planning to replace life-expired EMUs dating from the early 1980s.
